The funeral was two days later; we had gone and mourned, as well as others who were also there to mourn and to secretly grieve for us.

It was now night on the town of Castle Rock, the town that would now be called my home. As the citizens of the town and household slept, me and my aunt had found old photos of her and my mother as kids it was actually very strange to see and hear a side of my aunt that im sure was still in the dark to even my uncle. The next few days would prove to be the best by far.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weeks flew by and I got to know more about the people in the town, who you wanted to hang with and who you shouldn't, over all it didn't matter to me though I was quite content with having just Gordie, Chris, teddy and Vern as my friends. We had become closer and I was practically one of the boys.

It was now only a week until I started in a new school and I didn't seem to mind let's just put it this way I was not liked at my old school, I was rebellious in every ones eyes there and I loved it.

"Hey ash im going to the tree house you wanna come?" Gordie yelled up the stairs

"I don't know" I said "I have to finish this summer reading bullshit before we start school".

"Come on, you can bring that stuff with you" he said as he was now standing in my doorway.

"Your right, what the hell was I thinking its summer!" I yelled "fuck school!"

"That's the spirit" he laughed "now come on I wanna leave!" he whined

"Yea, yea" I said, as I placed my stuff in my backpack to take with me.

"Jesus H. Christ it's about time you two got here!" teddy complained from the bottom of the latter as Chris and Vern climbed down and finally to the ground.

"How's it going guys" I said

"Not to bad" Chris replied

"God it's too hot out!" Vern complained

"Well if everyone would shut up I was just going to say we should get some ice cream" Teddy said.

"Man that's a plan and a half" Chris smiled

"Well then lets go" teddy said.

When we got to the Blue Point diner pretty much every kid was there with and ice cream or soda in front of them. We sat in a small booth at the back.

"What'll it be?" the waitress asked.

After much debating and bickering over money and what not Me, Vern, and Chris were getting Root beer floats and Gordie and teddy were getting Coke's.

Our eating was filled with conversations of comics, school, and new tunes also a few random things from Vern. All in all it was a great time.

"Now what should we do?" I asked as we stepped out of the diner and started walking in no particular direction, as we stopped to cross the street I noticed a new shop opening up a few feet away.

"Hey wait you guy's" I said "what's that?" I asked as they kept walking, after a few more steps they turned around.

"What" Gordie Said?

"That" I said as I walked towards the shop and went inside.

It was a small book shop that went by the name of Ursula's book chest. It was run by a small old woman who I guessed was Ursula.

"Hello, May I help you with anything?" she asked.

"No that's ok im just looking" I said. I was fascinated with the books, she had so many. As I picked up a book I heard the boys come in and protest once they saw that it was indeed a book shop.

"Awww man" teddy whined along with Gordie and Vern as Chris made his way over to me.

"Whatcha got there?" he asked

"A book" I said as I flipped through it and finally found the price. "That I can't afford" I laughed and so did Chris as I put it back.

" man I gotta get home" Vern said after checking his watch that he had received a week earlier in the mail from the pez company after sending away many proof of purchase labels for the contest .we tagged along as he rushed out the door we said our goodbyes as teddy to decided to head home with Vern. Pretty soon it was just me, Chris, and Gordie walking quietly until Chris left for his house to.

The night went by fast and we were soon in bed waiting for tomorrow to come.
